We’re usually at the cabin on the 4th of July but since it was on a Wednesday and all of the festivities in Duck Creek were over the weekend, we decided to stay home for the actual 4th! We haven’t done traditional fireworks and a 4th of July BBQ in years and years.
We woke up to an overcast day [a rarity in our desert]. Luckily we scheduled the swim/BBQ for 10am because we were able to swim for a few hours before the rain hit! Quite a few friends from our ward showed up and it was a fun morning.
After naps, we met up with a group of friends and drove to Boulder City for fireworks. Veteran Memorial Park is quite busy so we went out there a few hours early and it was PERFECT. That park is beautiful and because of the rain it wasn’t very hot! The kids played and played in the grass until the fireworks started.
The firework show was fabulous! Boulder City is definitely my new favorite spot for fireworks. The finale was amazing. Ryan was not a huge fan of the fireworks. He stayed snuggled in my lap the entire time and kept saying “go home” or “scare me”.
And then when it was all over, he said “dat fun”.
It was a great 4th of July! It’s one of my favorite holidays – I love our country!
